GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1910.

Application filed April 23, 1910. Serial No. 557,289.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, E UGENE P. KILLGORE and ROBERT XV. BOSWORTH,citizens of the United States, residing at Berkeley and Oakland,respectively, in the county of Alameda and State of California, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in gas burners and has for one ofits objects the provision of a burner adapted for lighting, heating andcooking purposes.

Another object is the provision of a device capable of attachment to agas bracket located above the floor of a room and provided with a meansfor directing the heat from the burner downwardly.

\Vith these and other objects in view, which will more fully hereinafterappear, the present invention consists in certain novel details ofconstruct-ion and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawings and more particularly pointedout in the appended claim; it being understood that various changes inthe form, proportion, size, and minor details of the device may be made,within the scope of the appended claim, without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thespecification;-Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is avertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view onthe line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Similar numerals of reference are employed to designate correspondingparts throughout.

A chambered casing is designated by the numeral 5 and is shown providedwith an outwardly bulged bottom 6, in the central portion of which isformed an opening arranged a sleeve 7 The sleeve 7 receives a collar 8,which in turn receives a coupler 9, the latter to be secured to anysource of gas supply. The casing 5 is interiorly lined with brass, asshown at 10, the body of the casing being preferably of iron or itsequivalent the provision of the brass lining guarding against corrosion.

The top plate of the casing is designated by the numeral 11 and issubstantially circular in contour and is provided with a doubleconcentric series of gas openings 12. The top plate 11 is centrallyprovided with a bushing 13, the purpose of which will presently appear.

That will subsequently be termed a deflector is shown to include in itsconstruction a hollow body having a plain top plate 14 of circularcontour and an outwardly bulged bottom 15. Located at theperiphery ofthe top plate 14 and inclining outwardly and downwardly therefrom is aflange 16, the edge of which extends to a point in alinement with themiddle portion of the bulged bottom 15 and having for one of itspurposes to establish a connection between the top and bottom 14 and 15.Depending from the central portion of the bottom 15 is a bushing 17, thebushing 17 receiving one end of a tubular upright 18 the opposite end ofsaid tubular upright 18 receiving the bushing 13 on the chamber casing5.

It might here be stated'that the diameter of the deflector issubstantially twice that of the chambered casing, therefore, it will beevident when the deflector is positioned above the casing and the gasignited at the openings 12 the flames will shoot upwardly to theinclined bottom 15 of the deflector, moving on said bottom to the flange16, the latter by virtue of its position serving to direct the heatdownwardly. It will be evident when the gas is ignited at the openings12 that sufficient light will be furnished to illuminate an ordinaryroom and in addition the heat from the burning gas will be directeddownwardly as before described while a cooking vessel may be placed uponthe top plate 14 and its contents heated.

From the foregoing it is evident that we have provided a device which iscomparatively simple in structure and inexpensive in manufacture,embodying few parts and these so arranged that the danger of derangementwill be reduced to a minimum.

We claim 2- A gas burning heater comprising a chambered casing includinga flat perforated top plate having a central opening to receive one endof a gas supply pipe, a tubular upright rising from the center of thetop plate, and a deflector including a downwardly bulged bottom plate ofgreater diameter than "the chambered easing and centrally secured to theupper end of the upright, a flat top plate, and an outwardly anddownwardly inclined flange arranged on the peripheries of the top andbottom plates.

In testimony whereof we atfix our signatures in presence of tWoWitnesses.
